SCHLEY COUNTY NEWS.
G. T. WALKER, - - - - Editor.
" PBINCIPLES BEFORE MEtT.
Ellaville, 3a., October 19th, 1882.
Schley’s big scandal pow-wow has
gone to rest.
Dr. J. N. Cheney lias been con
fined to his bed with fever.
Worms appeared a few days ago
upon the oaks of the forest, and have
about devoured their leaves.
Our county is becoming infested
with crows more and more every year,
and are quite annoying now.
I "[Next Saturday will be six weeks
since, we had any rain. This drougld
is too much of a good thing for farmers.
The ground pea crop was never
finer, and they have about dried in
the ground in consequence of the
drought.
Every gin in the county lias as
much or more cotton to gin now than
it can do; but the rush will soon come
to a close.
Cotton is nearly all picked out and
farmers are all complaining that the
crops will be considerably shorter than
they anticipated.
Schley county only has eight can
didates out for Tax Collector. If a
few more will come out “me and my
three sons, us four and no more” will
elect a man. The more the merrier.
As may be seen from his announce
ment, S. B. Halstead offers himself
and services to the people of Schley to
be elected Tax Collector at the ensu
ing election in January next. Bently
is a young gentleman well qualified
to attend to the business if elected,
and relies upon his friends and quali
fications to do the electioneering.
Died. —Mr. Perry Peacock, on the
morning of the 13th inst., and was
buried that afternoon at Fellowship
Church. Perry Peacock was in his
seventy-fifth year and had been in bad
health for several months previous to
his death. He was known and noted
for his honesty and fidelity to honest
principles. He was a devoted mem
ber of the Universalist Church, and
proved his faith by his Christian
works.
LETTER FROM SCHLEY.
Ellaviile, Schley County Ga.,)
October 11th, 1882. j
Mr. Editor—Dear Sir: If you please
give me a little space within your
columns to return my thanks and a few
remarks concerning my feelings to my
friends in Schley. I now feel it my
duty to return my thanks to my adopt
ed father and mother, Sir. and Mrs. J.
11. Bivins. Judge Bivins is a well
known citizen of Schley county. I truly
thank him for his kind treatment for
the last thirteen years; he took care of
me when I could not have done it my
sdf; my desire is that God may bless
them and may they ever live a happy
life, and when life ceases may they meet
where they will enjoy their reward.
I write this morning as a free man,
twenty-one years of age, as some pro
nounce it. I enter, I say, into a field of
grass without a hoe. Who is to care
for his country, who is to take upon
his shoulder the responsibility of the
State and the human family, if not the
man that is twenty-one years of age?
Who is to sleep sound at night, and
if there is no corn in the barn nor meat
in the smoke house, nor feel the sting
ot poverty,if it is not the child that has
a father to look to for comforts? That’s
why we have so many conflicts, wrongs,
murders, drunkards and law-breakers.
That’s why we carry our keys from
night to night. If it is on account of
men whose freedom have no bounds, I
feel not as our friend Patrick Henry did
when he spoke these noble w’ords, “Give
me freedom or give me death.” I say a
man that is true to his country, abides
by the laws of God and of the United
States, is not at liberty. Who is it to
teach and to set good examples before
the rising generation if it is not the man
they call free? Are they not responsible
for the minors? Are they not to teach
us to love and do our duty to God and
to our fellowman as we were taught by
those who calmly sleep within their
honorable grave, who for their country
died. 1 think a great responsibility
falls upon him who receives the bene
diction.
Fathers mind where you step, for we
are coming right behind you; put not
a stumbling block in our path lest we
should stumble and fall to rise no more.
I have often heard it said that the
children now a days are so much worse
than they were in olden times. I ap
peal to the wisest heads, are we to
blame? I say let them that know better
teach better. If I plow with my hands
in my pockets and my plow uproots the
growing corn, who is to blame, me or
the plow? I say that I am to blame.
Now fathers take your hands out of
your pockets and guide your plow.
Then you will have children who will
mind you, and when you sleep within
your cold bilent tomb, and when your
name is blotted from the record of earth
yourson will remember the old trembling
voice that so often reproved him. Gent
ly drive the stake down beside the twig
and train it to grow’ straight while it is
young.
Come boys and let us lean to the
middle post. Who shall we take for
the middle post? Well, I say hurrah
for Crisp. We will forsake them that
forsake us. Then ask the old lady
about this matter; Well, when I fry
my meat 1 want t.i fry it into a Crisp,
and 1 don’t want to be worried about it.
Let u-i vote for a white man, not lor a
while negro. J. Mkllordion.
